    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first insulating substrate and a first semiconductor element joined to the first insulating substrate through the first conductive spacer. The first insulating substrate includes a first insulating layer and a first inner conductive layer disposed at a side of the first insulating layer. The first inner conductive layer includes a surface having a first region and a second region. The second region surrounds the first region and has larger surface roughness than the first region. The first conductive spacer is joined to the first region of the first inner conductive layer through a first junction layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device with an active transistor cell comprising a p-doped first and second base layers, surrounding an n type source region, the device further comprising a plurality of first gate electrodes embedded in trench recesses, has additional fortifying p-doped layers embedding the opposite ends of the trench recesses. The additional fortifying layers do not affect the active cell design in terms of cell pitch i.e., the design rules for transistor cell spacing, or hole drainage between the transistor cells, but reduce the gate-collector parasitic capacitance of the semiconductor, hence leading to optimum low conduction and switching losses. To further reduce the gate-collector capacitance, the trench recesses embedding the first gate electrodes can be formed with thicker insulating layers in regions that do not abut the first base layers, so as not to negatively impact the value of the threshold voltage.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates generally to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to semiconductor devices including a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor and are configured for accelerating and monitoring degradation of the gate dielectric of the MOS transistor. In one aspect, a semiconductor device configured with gate dielectric monitoring capability comprises a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor including a source, a drain, a gate, and a backgate region formed in a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device additionally comprises a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) including a collector, a base, and an emitter formed in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the backgate region of the MOS transistor serves as the base of the BJT and is independently accessible for activating the BJT. The MOS transistor and the BJT are configured to be concurrently activated by biasing the backgate region independently from the source of the MOS transistor, such that the base of the BJT injects carriers of a first charge type into the backgate region of the MOS transistor, where the first charge type is opposite charge type to channel current carriers.
